Hygiene
Centre ‘Tools for Schools’ Toolkit
To better understand the unique determinants of
children’s behaviour, the Hygiene Centre has
been working for some years now on developing a
set of tools which are tailored to effective communication
with, and information elicitation from, children,
especially in developing countries. The first ‘generation’
of these tools were the brain-child of Myriam Sidibe,
a DrPH student in the Hygiene Centre, who studied
the hygiene behaviour of school-children in Senegal.
Since then, the tools have been elaborated and modified
through use in national surveys conducted in other
sub-Saharan African countries, and more recently
in Asia. We now make them freely available to anyone
who wishes to use them. (However, we would appreciate
feedback from anyone who does use these tools so
that we can continue to improve them. For this reason,
we ask all downloaders to provide us with some information
about themselves.)
